Introduction to PCB Design I–Class 1
Date
-
Virtual classes meet on Monday and Wednesday
Taught by an IPC-certified industry expert with more than 25 years of experience in the field, this 6-week online program introduces participants to the concepts and skills required to create real-world designs that comply with IPC standards. This introductory course will focus on front-end design concepts such as schematic capture, library parts creation, basic electrical engineering concepts, and documentation.
LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
This program is designed to provide circuit board designers with a balanced foundation of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in schematic capture and design documentation.
- Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Define and create schematic symbols and PCB footprints that comply with applicable IPC Standards
- Create simple schematics for use in simulation and prototyping applications
- Implement industry best practices for:
- Schematic capture
- Hierarchical design implementation
- Documentation
- Parts list generation
- Recognize the trade-offs between the different schematic methodologies and when to use each type
- Assess different component types and attachment methods
- Differentiate when to use each type of component
- Define standard schematic notes
- Apply best practices in negotiating these terms with customers
